NV-FM1

The NV-FM1 is a highly versatile, pivoting multi-purpose mount for 120 and 140mm fans. It cannot only be used as a simple stand on desks or other level surfaces, but can also be fixed to walls, ceilings, furniture, or other objects using the screw-mounting holes and zip-tie slits at the base. Thanks to four strong magnets at the base, the NV-FM1 can also be simply stuck to any relatively flat magnetic surface such as fridges, steel machinery, or room radiators. The integrated 360° pivoting hinge makes it possible to let fans blow at any angle, such as upwards, downwards, or sideways, and the supplied anti-vibration fan mounts guarantee that no vibrations are transmitted. Manufactured from thick, solid steel, the NV-FM1 is sturdy enough for heavy-duty applications and its matte-black coated finish makes it look great no matter the environment. In short, the NV-FM1 is a highly flexible, premium grade DIY solution for installing 12 or 14cm fans just about anywhere: From desk and ceiling fans to cabinet ventilation and parts cooling in 3D printing, and from providing extra airflow to heating appliances such as convection heaters or ovens for improved energy efficiency, to cooling off devices such as routers or switches, anything is possible!

360° pivoting hinge

The NV-FM1’s 360° pivoting hinge allows you to adjust the airflow of the fan to any direction: Blowing upwards, downwards, sideways or at an angle – anything is possible. This is especially useful when using the NV-FM1 for room ventilation, e.g. mounted to a wall or ceiling, so that the airflow can be targeted to specific areas of the room.

Easy fixation just about anywhere

The NV-FM1 features a large, sturdy base with rubber pads and four strong magnets, which not only make it a solid stand on level, non-moving surfaces without risking scratches but also allow it to be easily attached to magnetic objects. At the same time, it can also be fixed with zip-ties using the dedicated slots or screw-fixed through its mounting holes using the supplied screws and wall plugs.

3 level anti-vibration design

Designed to prevent the transmission of vibrations from the ground up, the NV-FM1 provides 3 levels of vibration protection: Using the supplied NA-AV2 anti-vibration mounts reduces the transmission from the fan to the pivoting brackets, the rubber hinges decouple the brackets from the base and rubber strips at the base prevent vibrations from being transmitted to the mounting surface.

Compatible with all square frame Noctua 12 and 14cm fans

The NV-FM1 is compatible with all square frame 120 and 140mm fans from Noctua as well as most third-party units that use the standard 105x105 or 124.5x124.5mm hole spacings. It comes pre-assembled for use with 120mm fans but adjusting for 140mm only requires re-setting the side brackets in the appropriate position using the 4 screws at the base.

Optional fan grills

Noctua’s NA-FG1-12 and NA-FG1-14 fan grills can be installed on both sides of the fan for maximum protection. The grills can be installed either using the self-tapping screws or the push-pins that are supplied with the NA-FG1 grill sets.

Optional NV-AA1-12 airflow amplifier

For applications that require a strong, focused beam of airflow, the NV-FM1 can be paired with the NF-A12x25 fan and the tailored NV-AA1-12 airflow amplifier that significantly enhances the fan’s ventilation performance. Perfect for creating strong yet ultra-quiet desk fans or to blow air across a larger room!

Ideal with USB-powered 5V fans

The NV-FM1 is an ideal match for Noctua’s 12 and 14cm 5V fans that come with a USB adaptor cable so that they can easily be powered using standard mobile phone power supplies, power banks or USB host devices. Additionally, the 5V PWM versions can be speed-controlled using the NA-FC1 fan controller.
